Lirc package lirc-0.8.0.20060401-9 and lirc-utils-0.8.0.20060401-2 with kernel26 2.6.17.5-1 are broken for lirc_i2c. I discovered this for my set-up using Hauppauge PVR 250 card in combination with MythTV which had worked for earlier configurations. I do not know latest stable combination of lirc (prior to split) and kernel26, I only know it was in May. I follow updates at least every week.

Main symptom: /dev/lirc0 was not created when loading lirc_i2c. In the messages, only
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
was reported;
lirc_i2c: chip found @ 0x18 (Hauppauge IR)
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 10
were absent. Lircd could be loaded, but running irw crashed the deamon.

Repair for now done by compiling and installing lirc-0.7.2 with the kernel mentioned.

Please note: lirc installs lirc_i2c.ko and lirc_dev.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/misc/ while the lirc package installs the modules in /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/kernel/drivers/misc/.

I'm sorry; repair was done not with lirc-0.7.2, but with svn head checked out late last week.

isn't this solved now with new lirc package?
